VW Passat would misfire on and off for months. Engine and RMP would rev/ car would bounce. Got to the point it would just randomly die while at a stop light. VW mechanics and another shop couldn’t trace the engine code that randomly comes on and off. Spent over $1000 trying to fix this. So far this is working! Thank you!

@jmdesales4 ай бұрын
they tend to misfire when cold, the pin gets stuck with oil slug, as the slug in the magnet warms it works normal. Shot parts cleaner straw through the small holes. The pin will free fall when cleaned no need to buy a new one.

I had one, about a month back, on a Passat that I replaced same part on. It would intermittently run rough. The plunger seemed to work ok when you would flip it over..must of had a week plunger or solenoid. The thing set like 10 codes all from that one issue lol. Lean codes, misfire codes, timing codes, fuel pressure codes..crazy that one part could set all that. Knowing what data pids to look at helped a ton though. Good find 👍
